2026 Saint John Rapids [NB]

Growing the Game of Lacrosse in Saint John

The Saint John Rapids Lacrosse Club is the driving force behind the growth and development of lacrosse in the Saint John Region. Dedicated to fostering a passion for Canada’s national summer sport, the Rapids provide opportunities for players of all ages and skill levels to get involved, from grassroots programs to competitive teams.

In recent years, the Rapids have introduced lacrosse to hundreds of youth, offering introductory clinics and school programs that expose new players to the game.

The Rapids are committed to growing the sport’s presence at both the recreational and elite levels. Their development programs emphasize skill-building, teamwork, and sportsmanship, ensuring that players have a strong foundation to compete at provincial and national levels. The organization also works closely with Lacrosse New Brunswick to strengthen the competitive pathway for players looking to advance in the sport. The volunteer-driven coaching and mentorship initiatives further help foster a strong sense of community and belonging within the sport.

Hosting the 2026 Founders Cup in Saint John would be a natural extension of the Rapids’ mission, inspiring the next generation of lacrosse players and showcasing the sport’s growing impact in the region.
